Chapter 243: Dark Clouds Cover the Moon, Night of Killing
The next day.
The heaven-gifted talents of the Seven Sect Alliance rarely stopped their challenges. All the remaining people almost all cast their gazes at the Criminal Division of the 176th Port.
They were silent one after another.
Each took a breath.
Their eyes even revealed strong dread and shock.
They did not know what had happened inside the Criminal Division.
Although the magic array of the Seven Blood Children was ineffective in suppressing Prince Sima Ru, the isolation of the environment did not involve targeting anyone, so outsiders could not see everything inside.
Only the high-level officials of the Seven Blood Children and the Sequence Palace descendants could see clearly.
However, except for the Seventh Peak, the other six peaks were actually still unable to see, because... the Seventh Master interfered.
Thus, what the crowd outside the Seventh Peak saw was Prince Sima Ru drifting in, and then not long after, the isolation on the Criminal Division dissipated, everything returned to normal, the Criminal Division disciples who had been dispersed returned, and the operation of the entire Criminal Division continued as usual.
They were still capturing Night Owls one after another, still sending a large number of prisoners in.
Only Prince Sima Ru had disappeared, and her brother Prince Sima Ling was still locked up and not released.
And the white bone boat at the port lost its support silently and collapsed on its own.
This scene caused the hearts of these heaven-gifted talents of the Seven Sect Alliance to be stirred with earth-shaking waves. They suddenly felt that the act of challenging other peaks had no meaning anymore.
No matter how they challenged, this Criminal Division of the 176th Port was like a sharp thorn, deeply pierced into their hearts.
Prince Sima Ling was suppressed by the Criminal Division, his sister was clearly also suppressed, and Huang Huang Yikun of the Profound Nether Sect had disappeared after challenging the Seventh Peak. Before he disappeared, he had also informed others that he would handle the matter of Xu Qing of the Criminal Division.
All of this... was related to Xu Qing!
Thus, the Criminal Division of the 176th Port, in the eyes of these disciples of the Seven Sect Alliance, was like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, mysterious and unpredictable, while also possessing unimaginable danger.
The original purpose of the Seven Sect Alliance arranging for them to come was to let them suppress the will of the Seven Blood Children disciples through repeated challenges, causing a seed of awe toward the Seven Sect Alliance to grow in the hearts of the Seven Blood Children disciples.
And they had indeed achieved this at the beginning. Following repeated challenges, the Seven Blood Children disciples were silent one after another, and in the dark, they were even more panicked, and some had even tried to contact them.
But now, while they had intimidated many Seven Blood Children disciples, they were also intimidated by the Criminal Division.
"What level is this Xu Qing's true combat power!"
"Prince Sima Ru went and never returned. Although it was not her true body, it also possessed the combat power of four fires. She, who could suppress us easily, was suppressed in the Criminal Division."
"The Seventh Peak... is this the core of the entire Seven Blood Children?"
"If Senior Brother Sheng Qing Yunzi hadn't left..."
While these heaven-gifted talents of the Seven Sect Alliance were shocked, the disciples of the Seven Blood Children also had their moods fluctuate after paying attention to all this. In their eyes, Xu Qing and the Seventh Peak were now standing out alone.
Like a bright light, it illuminated the somewhat dim firmament in the hearts of the disciples of other peaks.
This caused the concept of invincibility that had been planted in them when facing the heaven-gifted talents of the Eastern Wanggu Continent to change, and at the same time, they had a yearning for the Seventh Peak, and even more, they had a high reverence for the Peak Master of the Seventh Peak.
There were even some rumors spreading within the Seven Blood Children at this moment. The rumors said that the pattern of the Seven Blood Children would undergo some changes, and the biggest change here was that a Sect Master would appear!
Up to now, the Seven Blood Children only had Peak Masters, no Sect Master.
The disciples of the seven peaks were actually all listening to the orders of their respective peaks, and they did not have much recognition for other peaks. They were each doing their own things, and only on major matters would they coordinate with each other.
Now... the arrival of the Seven Sect Alliance was like a huge hammer, bombarding the peaks of the Seven Blood Children from all directions. That feeling of wind and rain coming caused all the disciples to have their hearts shaken under the pressure from the outside world, and all kinds of thoughts were rising.
But this pressure, looking at it from another level, was like forging iron, causing the dross and the like that had been contained within the Seven Blood Children for these years to be shaken and revealed.
And all these things, in the eyes of the visiting outer races and the allies of the Seven Blood Children, were seen more deeply, faintly seeing the grasp of the ancestor of the Seven Blood Children on the hearts of the people.
This was borrowing the hand of the Seven Sect Alliance to temper their own sect.
The Seven Sect Alliance clearly also saw this point, so for the heaven-gifted talents of each sect to no longer continue the challenge, there was no urging as in the past, but one decree after another regarding the Seven Blood Children was issued from within the Seven Sect Alliance.
They wanted to transfer the Peak Masters of each peak, especially the Seventh Peak.
They also wanted to conscript all the princes, especially the princes and sequences of the Seventh Peak, to go to the Eastern Wanggu Continent to arrange positions.
These decrees were all stalled by Blood Refining Child.
But the Seven Sect Alliance this time seemed to have made up its mind. One decree was more severe than the other, and in the end, even threats appeared in the words, having the momentum that if they did not obey, the Seven Sect Alliance would come to suppress them by force.
Especially the Ancestor Lingyun Sword Sect, which was now the most powerful within the Seven Sect Alliance. Its sect ancestor activated the Forbidden Magic Treasure of the Ancestor Lingyun Sword Sect, forming a huge deterrent.
And while the Forbidden Magic Treasure of the Ancestor Lingyun Sword Sect was activated and could erupt at any time, the Spirit Haze Valley, the upper sect of the Second Peak, and the Heavenly Mirror Treasure Sect, the upper sect of the Sixth Peak, these two sects also activated their Forbidden Magic Treasures, appearing to be coordinating the deterrent.
At the same time, outside these decrees, other orders were issued, requiring the Seven Blood Children to hand over half of the war compensation of the Sea Corpse Clan, and the Seven Sect Alliance would set up an External Affairs Department on all the islands occupied by the Seven Blood Children.
This department was named External Affairs, but in reality, it was for supervision.
Supervising the ancestors from above, and observing the disciples from below.
In an instant, the entire Seven Blood Children had a feeling of swaying again.
However, Xu Qing did not pay too much attention to it. On one hand, he did not believe that the sect high-level officials, who were born from raising poison, would be helpless against this matter.
On the other hand, this kind of matter between sects must not be looked at only on the surface. Under such huge interest entanglements, people's hearts cannot be trusted, so it was even less necessary to look at the statements on the surface.
"The Seven Sect Alliance is not a monolithic block." Xu Qing murmured in a low voice. From the matter of the Hunters of the Strange, he had already seen this point. In reality, this was also in line with common sense.
Additionally, Xu Qing's energy now was more on the research of the small black insects and the closing of the net on the Night Owls.
And after experiencing the curfew and continuous strikes during this period, the activity ability of the Night Owls in the Seven Blood Children had been squeezed to the limit.
The final closing of the net also arrived on a night a few days later.
The five headquarters of the Night Owls in the Seven Blood Children had been thoroughly identified.
This night, the elite members of the seven Criminal Capture Divisions will all be dispatched, forming five sharp blades, and at the unified time, they will all strike at the five headquarters of the Night Doves.
At the same time, more Criminal Division disciples were dispersed in the main city, strictly enforcing the curfew this night to the extreme, and their task was to capture the Night Owls who fled in all directions after the headquarters were destroyed.
This was the overall plan for the closing of the net on the Night Owls.
Following the blowing of the night wind, following Xu Qing's figure walking out from the Criminal Division of the 176th Port, and following the figures of thousands of Criminal Division disciples of the Seventh Peak appearing and disappearing behind him, Xu Qing's voice blew the horn to destroy the Night Owls.
"Criminal Division, move out! After tonight, not a single Night Owl will exist in the Seven Blood Children!"
Xu Qing's voice was filled with killing intent, echoing in all directions.
"Yes!"
Thousands of Seventh Peak Criminal Division disciples spoke in unison. The next instant, Xu Qing was in the front, whistling forward, and behind him, several deputy division heads led their teams. Thousands of people in this night color headed straight for the target location.
The wind was strong tonight, and dark clouds covered the moon.
Wherever the Criminal Division disciples passed, all shops and stores were closed, and there were inns that were originally open at night that were also panicked. During this period, they had been unable to do business, and now they could only look at the passing figures of the Criminal Division from behind the closed gates.
In the night wind, Xu Qing, who was galloping at the very front, had his long hair fluttering. Looking at the night color, looking at everything around him, Xu Qing suddenly remembered the night of the second day when he first came to the Seven Blood Children.
At that time, he was walking on the road cautiously, looking at the Criminal Division team members who were passing by at high speed, his heart filled with vigilance, alertness, and also envy.
And now he was in the front, with thousands of Criminal Division members behind him, and in other areas of the main city, the team members of each division were also executing this closing of the net.
"Three years." Xu Qing murmured in his heart, his speed becoming faster.
And behind him, all the Criminal Division team members of the Seventh Peak, looking at Xu Qing, were filled with fanaticism. This was the way of survival in a chaotic world, and this was the reverence of the weak for the strong.
At the same time... the footprints Xu Qing took step by step were also an important reason for them to pursue him.
Three years ago, Xu Qing was just like them, just a team member.
Three years later, Xu Qing was already the Division Head of the Seventh Peak Criminal Division!
The night wind was even stronger.
Not long after, Xu Qing gazed from afar at a large mansion. This place was not small in area and was once an industry of the Fourth Peak, later bought by someone to make a brothel.
But with the curfew, there was no business here, and it gradually became desolate. The lights inside were also dim. In this night color, there was only faint light.
"Kill!" Xu Qing spoke calmly. The next instant, thousands of Criminal Division team members behind him erupted with killing intent, rushing toward this mansion in unison. In an instant, roars echoed within, and Night Owl figures appeared with panic, wanting to scatter, but the number of Criminal Division team members surrounding them was even greater.
For a time, the sound of killing echoed in all directions, and the smell of blood drifted with the wind.
Xu Qing did not make a move, but stood in mid-air, looking coldly at all this. At the same time, killing information from several other Night Owl headquarters was also reported to Xu Qing here in real-time from other divisions.
"Division Head Xu, the third stronghold has been cleared smoothly and is being cleaned up!"
"The second stronghold is going smoothly. The Night Owl Foundation Establishment enemy chief has been beheaded, and the remnants have been reported to the clearing team and are being killed in the full range."
"The fifth stronghold has successfully completed the mission!"
"Requesting assistance! Inside the fourth stronghold, there is a suspicion of a cultivator from the Ancestor Lingyun Sword Sect of the Seven Sect Alliance, and there is also a three-fire Foundation Establishment Night Owl!"
Almost at the same time Xu Qing saw this last piece of information, a request for assistance signal exploded from a Criminal Division team in the distant firmament.
Xu Qing raised his head suddenly, his body took a step forward, and in an instant, his speed erupted. His whole person was like a rainbow, heading straight for the place where the signal came from. And while moving forward, the Golden Crow manifested behind him, its wings spread, and its tail flames drifted like catkins, looking up and hissing, forming a sea of fire.
Looking from afar, at this moment, Xu Qing on the firmament was wearing a cloak of flames, his hawk-like eyes striking like thunder, unstoppable! ===== CHAPTER 244 =====
Looking from afar, at this moment, Xu Qing on the firmament is wearing a cloak of flames, swooping like an eagle and striking like thunder, sharp and unstoppable!
